Honey is the only food that does not spoil.
Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs
has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.
Months that begin on a Sunday will always have
a "Friday the 13th."
There were these two boys who lived with their Grandma.
They were about to go to bed but before they slept they
prayed. The older son started to pray. He prayed about the
day he had and about everything he had done. The younger
son then started to pray, he prayed much louder than his elder
brother, he prayed for bikes and toys, and when he finished
the older brother asked him "Why are you praying so loud?
God is not deaf' and the younger son responded and said "
Yea but Grandma is"
Please contact Pastor Ron directly if you anticipate an
upcoming hospital stay.

size, we can use them.

quilter room on I st. any Thursday between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

Leif Erikson Day
In 1964, a joint resolution of Congress declared
October 9th as Leif Erikson Day.
Note: This gives recognition to the first European to set foot on
North American soil. He was the son of Eric Thorvaldson ("Eric the
Red"), a Norwegian. He adhered unquestioningly to the directive
of the king that he spread Christianity to Greenland.
